Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of quantitative container technology, specifically a volumetric flask device. Background Technology
[0002] A volumetric flask is an instrument used to prepare solutions of a specific concentration. It is generally a long, narrow-necked, pear-shaped, flat-bottomed glass bottle with a ground glass stopper, and graduations on the neck. Some volumetric flasks are made of plastic. The volume at the mark when the volume inside the flask reaches that mark at a specified temperature is the indicated volume. In standard preparation procedures for solid solutes, because the volumetric flask has a long, narrow neck and cannot be heated, a certain mass of solute is usually weighed using a balance and placed in a beaker. After dissolving in a solvent, the solute is transferred to the volumetric flask. Heating or ultrasonic agitation may be necessary during the dissolution process to aid dissolution. When the solute is a sparingly soluble or highly viscous substance (such as a polymer), or when preparing a solution close to saturation, the dissolution and transfer process becomes extremely difficult, even impossible to complete, significantly reducing the accuracy of the solution concentration. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a volumetric flask device with a simple structure. It can eliminate the transfer process when preparing solutions of substances that are difficult to dissolve or transfer, thereby improving the accuracy of solution concentration.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0005] This utility model provides a volumetric flask device, which includes a main cavity, a secondary cavity, and a connecting device; the upper end of the main cavity is open, the secondary cavity is located above the main cavity and forms a communication structure with the main cavity, the top of the secondary cavity extends upward to form a bottleneck, and the secondary cavity is fixed to the main cavity through the connecting device and forms a detachable connection.
[0006] In this invention, the upper part of the main cavity is provided with an external thread, and the connecting device includes two fixing seats symmetrically distributed on the lower outer side of the secondary cavity. The fixing seats are provided with internal threads, and the internal threads and external threads are matched to achieve the fixation between the secondary cavity and the main cavity.
[0007] In this invention, a positioning protrusion is provided at the lower part of the external thread, and a positioning groove is provided at the lower part of the outer side of the internal thread. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are matched to limit the degree of thread engagement.
[0008] In this invention, the upper part of the main cavity is recessed to form a first sealing surface, and the secondary cavity is provided with a second sealing surface adapted to the main cavity. When the secondary cavity and the main cavity are connected, the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface are tightly fitted to form a conical sealing structure.
[0009] In this invention, the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface have a frosted structure.
[0010] In this invention, the main cavity is a flat-bottomed columnar hollow cavity structure, and the secondary cavity is a funnel-shaped structure.
[0011] In this utility model, the bottleneck is marked with scale lines.
[0012] In this invention, a plug is provided at the upper end of the bottleneck, and a matching seal is formed between the plug and the bottleneck.
[0013] When preparing a solution using the volumetric flask device of this utility model, the specific steps include: weighing a certain amount of substance and placing it in the main chamber, adding sufficient solvent, and if necessary, heating or ultrasonically vibrating the main chamber until dissolved. After cooling, cover the secondary chamber to ensure a tight seal. Screw the internal and external threads of the connecting device until the positioning groove and positioning protrusion engage. Add solvent from the top of the neck of the bottle to the graduation mark, and shake well to complete the preparation.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] Its simple structure and ingenious design make it ideal for preparing solutions, especially those containing substances that are difficult to dissolve or transfer. This eliminates the need for transfer, avoiding loss of weighed substances and ensuring accurate solution concentration. Furthermore, when the volumetric flask contains a small amount of solution, the connection can be opened to directly draw solution from the main chamber, which is particularly convenient when using a pipette. The detachable structure also simplifies the cleaning of the volumetric flask. Attached Figure Description
